38 | <t>The LinuxSampler Control Protocol (LSCP) is an |
39 | application-level protocol primarily intended for local and |
40 | remote controlling the LinuxSampler backend application, which is a |
41 | sophisticated server-like console application essentially playing |
42 | back audio samples and manipulating the samples in real time to |
43 | certain extent.</t> |
44 | </abstract> |

47 | <middle> |
48 | <section title="Requirements notation"> |
49 | <t>The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", |
50 | "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", |
51 | and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as |
52 | described in <xref target="RFC2119"/>.</t> |
53 | |
54 | <t>This protocol is always case-sensitive if not explicitly |
55 | claimed the opposite.</t> |
56 | |
57 | <t>In examples, "C:" and "S:" indicate lines sent by the client |
58 | (front-end) and server (LinuxSampler) respectively. Lines in |
59 | examples must be interpreted as every line being CRLF |
60 | terminated (carriage return character followed by line feed |
61 | character as defined in the ASCII standard), thus the following |
62 | example:</t> |
63 | |
64 | <t> |
65 | <list> |
66 | <t>C: "some line"</t> |
67 | <t> "another line"</t> |
68 | </list> |
69 | </t> |
70 | |
71 | <t>must actually be interpreted as client sending the following |
72 | message:</t> |
73 | |
74 | <t> |
75 | <list> |
76 | <t>"some line<CR><LF>another |
77 | line<CR><LF>"</t> |
78 | </list> |
79 | </t> |
80 | |
81 | <t>where <CR> symbolizes the carriage return character and |
82 | <LF> the line feed character as defined in the ASCII |
83 | standard.</t> |
84 | |
85 | <t>Due to technical reasons, messages can arbitrary be |
86 | fragmented, means the following example:</t> |
87 | |
88 | <t> |
89 | <list> |
90 | <t>S: "abcd"</t> |
91 | </list> |
92 | </t> |
93 | |
94 | <t>could also happen to be sent in three messages like in the |
95 | following sequence scenario:</t> |
96 | |
97 | <t> |
98 | <list style="symbols"> |
99 | <t>server sending message "a"</t> |
100 | <t>followed by a delay (pause) with |
101 | arbitrary duration</t> |
102 | <t>followed by server sending message |
103 | "bcd<CR>"</t> |
104 | <t>again followed by a delay (pause) with arbitrary |
105 | duration</t> |
106 | <t>followed by server sending the message |
107 | "<LF>"</t> |
108 | </list> |
109 | </t> |
110 | |
111 | <t>where again <CR> and <LF> symbolize the carriage |
112 | return and line feed characters respectively.</t> |
113 | </section> |
114 | |
115 | <section title="Versioning of this specification" anchor="LSCP versioning"> |
116 | <t>LSCP will certainly be extended and enhanced by-and-by. Each official |
117 | release of the LSCP specification will be tagged with a unique version |
118 | tuple. The version tuple consists at least of a major and minor version |
119 | number like: |
120 | </t> |
121 | <t> |
122 | <list> |
123 | <t>"1.2"</t> |
124 | </list> |
125 | </t> |
126 | <t> |
127 | In this example the major version number would be "1" and the minor |
128 | version number would be "2". Note that the version tuple might also |
129 | have more than two elements. The major version number defines a |
130 | group of backward compatible versions. That means a frontend is |
131 | compatible to the connected sampler if and only if the LSCP versions |
132 | to which each of the two parties complies to, match both of the |
133 | following rules: |
134 | </t> |
135 | <t>Compatibility:</t> |
136 | <t> |
137 | <list style="numbers"> |
138 | <t>The frontend's LSCP major version and the sampler's LSCP |
139 | major version are exactly equal.</t> |
140 | <t>The frontend's LSCP minor version is less or equal than |
141 | the sampler's LSCP minor version.</t> |
142 | </list> |
143 | </t> |
144 | <t> |
145 | Compatibility can only be claimed if both rules are true. |
146 | The frontend can use the |
147 | <xref target="GET SERVER INFO">"GET SERVER INFO"</xref> command to |
148 | get the version of the LSCP specification the sampler complies with. |

152 | <section title="Introduction"> |
153 | <t>LinuxSampler is a so called software sampler application |
154 | capable to playback audio samples from a computer's Random |
155 | Access Memory (RAM) as well as directly streaming it from disk. |
156 | LinuxSampler is designed to be modular. It provides several so |
157 | called "sampler engines" where each engine is specialized for a |
158 | certain purpose. LinuxSampler has virtual channels which will be |
159 | referred in this document as "sampler channels". The channels |
160 | are in such way virtual as they can be connected to an |
161 | arbitrary MIDI input method and arbitrary MIDI channel (e.g. |
162 | sampler channel 17 could be connected to an ALSA sequencer |
163 | device 64:0 and listening to MIDI channel 1 there). Each sampler |
164 | channel will be associated with an instance of one of the available |
165 | sampler engines (e.g. GigEngine, DLSEngine). The audio output of |
166 | each sampler channel can be routed to an arbitrary audio output |
167 | method (ALSA / JACK) and an arbitrary audio output channel |
168 | there.</t> |

171 | <section title="Focus of this protocol"> |
172 | <t>Main focus of this protocol is to provide a way to configure |
173 | a running LinuxSampler instance and to retrieve information |
174 | about it. The focus of this protocol is not to provide a way to |
175 | control synthesis parameters or even to trigger or release |
176 | notes. Or in other words; the focus are those functionalities |
177 | which are not covered by MIDI or which may at most be handled |
178 | via MIDI System Exclusive Messages.</t> |
179 | </section> |
180 | |
181 | <section title="Communication Overview"> |
182 | <t>There are two distinct methods of communication between a |
183 | running instance of LinuxSampler and one or more control |
184 | applications, so called "front-ends": a simple request/response |
185 | communication method used by the clients to give commands to the |
186 | server as well as to inquire about server's status and a |
187 | subscribe/notify communication method used by the client to |
188 | subscribe to and receive notifications of certain events as they |
189 | happen on the server. The latter needs more effort to be |
190 | implemented in the front-end application. The two communication |
191 | methods will be described next.</t> |
192 | |
193 | <section title="Request/response communication method"> |
194 | <t>This simple communication method is based on |
195 | <xref target="RFC793">TCP</xref>. The |
196 | front-end application establishes a TCP connection to the |
197 | LinuxSampler instance on a certain host system. Then the |
198 | front-end application will send certain ASCII based commands |
199 | as defined in this document (every command line must be CRLF |
200 | terminated - see "Conventions used in this document" at the |
201 | beginning of this document) and the LinuxSampler application |
202 | will response after a certain process time with an |
203 | appropriate ASCII based answer, also as defined in this |
204 | document. So this TCP communication is simply based on query |
205 | and answer paradigm. That way LinuxSampler is only able to |
206 | answer on queries from front-ends, but not able to |
207 | automatically send messages to the client if it's not asked |
208 | to. The fronted should not reconnect to LinuxSampler for |
209 | every single command, instead it should keep the connection |
210 | established and simply resend message(s) for subsequent |
211 | commands. To keep information in the front-end up-to-date |
212 | the front-end has to periodically send new requests to get |
213 | the current information from the LinuxSampler instance. This |
214 | is often referred to as "polling". While polling is simple |
215 | to implement and may be OK to use in some cases, there may |
216 | be disadvantages to polling such as network traffic overhead |
217 | and information being out of date. |
218 | It is possible for a client or several clients to open more |
219 | than one connection to the server at the same time. It is |
220 | also possible to send more than one request to the server |
221 | at the same time but if those requests are sent over the |
222 | same connection server MUST execute them sequentially. Upon |
223 | executing a request server will produce a result set and |
224 | send it to the client. Each and every request made by the |
225 | client MUST result in a result set being sent back to the |
226 | client. No other data other than a result set may be sent by |
227 | a server to a client. No result set may be sent to a client |
228 | without the client sending request to the server first. On |
229 | any particular connection, result sets MUST be sent in their |
230 | entirety without being interrupted by other result sets. If |
231 | several requests got queued up at the server they MUST be |
232 | processed in the order they were received and result sets |
233 | MUST be sent back in the same order.</t> |
234 | |
235 | <section title="Result format"> |
236 | <t>Result set could be one of the following types:</t> |
237 | <t> |
238 | <list style="numbers"> |
239 | <t>Normal</t> |
240 | <t>Warning</t> |
241 | <t>Error</t> |
242 | </list> |
243 | </t> |
244 | <t>Warning and Error result sets MUST be single line and |
245 | have the following format:</t> |
246 | <t> |
247 | <list style="symbols"> |
248 | <t>"WRN:<warning-code>:<warning-message>"</t> |
249 | <t>"ERR:<error-code>:<error-message>"</t> |
250 | </list> |
251 | </t> |
252 | <t>Where <warning-code> and <error-code> are |
253 | numeric unique identifiers of the warning or error and |
254 | <warning-message> and <error-message> are |
255 | human readable descriptions of the warning or error |
256 | respectively.</t> |
257 | <t>Examples:</t> |
258 | <t> |
259 | <list> |
260 | <t>C: "LOAD INSTRUMENT '/home/me/Boesendorfer24bit.gig" 0 0</t> |
261 | <t>S: "WRN:32:This is a 24 bit patch which is not supported natively yet."</t> |
262 | </list> |
263 | </t> |
264 | <t> |
265 | <list> |
266 | <t>C: "GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO ALSA EAR"</t> |
267 | <t>S: "ERR:3456:Audio output driver 'ALSA' does not have a parameter 'EAR'."</t> |
268 | </list> |
269 | </t> |
270 | <t> |
271 | <list> |
272 | <t>C: "GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE INFO 123456"</t> |
273 | <t>S: "ERR:9:There is no audio output device with index 123456."</t> |
274 | </list> |
275 | </t> |
276 | <t>Normal result sets could be:</t> |
277 | <t> |
278 | <list style="numbers"> |
279 | <t>Empty</t> |
280 | <t>Single line</t> |
281 | <t>Multi-line</t> |
282 | </list> |
283 | </t> |
284 | <t> Empty result set is issued when the server only |
285 | needed to acknowledge the fact that the request was |
286 | received and it was processed successfully and no |
287 | additional information is available. This result set has |
288 | the following format:</t> |
289 | <t> |
290 | <list> |
291 | <t>"OK"</t> |
292 | </list> |
293 | </t> |
294 | <t>Example:</t> |
295 | <t> |
296 | <list> |
297 | <t>C: "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE_PARAMETER 0 CHANNELS=4"</t> |
298 | <t>S: "OK"</t> |
299 | </list> |
300 | </t> |
301 | <t>Single line result sets are command specific. One |
302 | example of a single line result set is an empty line. |
303 | Multi-line result sets are command specific and may |
304 | include one or more lines of information. They MUST |
305 | always end with the following line:</t> |
306 | <t> |
307 | <list> |
308 | <t>"."</t> |
309 | </list> |
310 | </t> |
311 | <t>Example:</t> |
312 | <t> |
313 | <list> |
314 | <t>C: "GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE INFO 0"</t> |
315 | <t>S: "DRIVER: ALSA"</t> |
316 | <t> "CHANNELS: 2"</t> |
317 | <t> "SAMPLERATE: 44100"</t> |
318 | <t> "ACTIVE: true"</t> |
319 | <t> "FRAGMENTS: 2"</t> |
320 | <t> "FRAGMENTSIZE: 128"</t> |
321 | <t> "CARD: '0,0'"</t> |
322 | <t> "."</t> |
323 | </list> |
324 | </t> |
325 | <t>In addition to above mentioned formats, warnings and |
326 | empty result sets MAY be indexed. In this case, they |
327 | have the following formats respectively:</t> |
328 | <t> |
329 | <list style="symbols"> |
330 | <t>"WRN[<index>]:<warning-code>:<warning-message>"</t> |
331 | <t>"OK[<index>]"</t> |
332 | </list> |
333 | </t> |
334 | <t>where <index> is command specific and is used |
335 | to indicate channel number that the result set was |
336 | related to or other integer value.</t> |
337 | <t>Each line of the result set MUST end with |
338 | <CRLF>.</t> |
339 | <t>Examples:</t> |
340 | <t> |
341 | <list> |
342 | <t>C: "ADD CHANNEL"</t> |
343 | <t>S: "OK[12]"</t> |
344 | </list> |
345 | </t> |
346 | <t> |
347 | <list> |
348 | <t>C: "CREATE AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE ALSA SAMPLERATE=96000"</t> |
349 | <t>S: "WRN[0]:32:Sample rate not supported, using 44100 instead."</t> |
350 | </list> |
351 | </t> |
352 | </section> |
353 | </section> |
354 | <section title="Subscribe/notify communication method"> |
355 | <t>This more sophisticated communication method is actually |
356 | only an extension of the simple request/response |
357 | communication method. The front-end still uses a TCP |
358 | connection and sends the same commands on the TCP |
359 | connection. Two extra commands are SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE |
360 | commands that allow a client to tell the server that it is |
361 | interested in receiving notifications about certain events |
362 | as they happen on the server. The SUBSCRIBE command has the |
363 | following syntax:</t> |
364 | |
365 | <t> |
366 | <list> |
367 | <t>SUBSCRIBE <event-id></t> |
368 | </list> |
369 | </t> |
370 | |
371 | <t>where <event-id> will be replaced by the respective |
372 | event that client wants to subscribe to. Upon receiving such |
373 | request, server SHOULD respond with OK and start sending |
374 | EVENT notifications when a given even has occurred to the |
375 | front-end when an event has occurred. It MAY be possible |
376 | certain events may be sent before OK response during real |
377 | time nature of their generation. Event messages have the |
378 | following format:</t> |
379 | |
380 | <t> |
381 | <list> |
382 | <t>NOTIFY:<event-id>:<custom-event-data></t> |
383 | </list> |
384 | </t> |
385 | |
386 | <t>where <event-id> uniquely identifies the event that |
387 | has occurred and <custom-event-data> is event |
388 | specific.</t> |
389 | |
390 | <t>Several rules must be followed by the server when |
391 | generating events:</t> |
392 | |
393 | <t> |
394 | <list style="numbers"> |
395 | <t>Events MUST NOT be sent to any client who has not |
396 | issued an appropriate SUBSCRIBE command.</t> |
397 | <t>Events MUST only be sent using the same |
398 | connection that was used to subscribe to them.</t> |
399 | <t>When response is being sent to the client, event |
400 | MUST be inserted in the stream before or after the |
401 | response, but NOT in the middle. Same is true about |
402 | the response. It should never be inserted in the |
403 | middle of the event message as well as any other |
404 | response.</t> |
405 | </list> |
406 | </t> |
407 | |
408 | <t>If the client is not interested in a particular event |
409 | anymore it MAY issue UNSUBSCRIBE command using the following |
410 | syntax:</t> |
411 | |
412 | <t> |
413 | <list> |
414 | <t>UNSUBSCRIBE <event-id></t> |
415 | </list> |
416 | </t> |
417 | |
418 | <t>where <event-id> will be replace by the respective |
419 | event that client is no longer interested in receiving. For |
420 | a list of supported events see <xref target="events" />.</t> |
421 | |
422 | <t>Example: the fill states of disk stream buffers have |
423 | changed on sampler channel 4 and the LinuxSampler instance |
424 | will react by sending the following message to all clients |
425 | who subscribed to this event:</t> |
426 | |
427 | <t> |
428 | <list> |
429 | <t>NOTIFY:CHANNEL_BUFFER_FILL:4 [35]62%,[33]80%,[37]98%</t> |
430 | </list> |
431 | </t> |
432 | |
433 | <t>Which means there are currently three active streams on |
434 | sampler channel 4, where the stream with ID "35" is filled |
435 | by 62%, stream with ID 33 is filled by 80% and stream with |
436 | ID 37 is filled by 98%.</t> |
437 | |
438 | <t>Clients may choose to open more than one connection to |
439 | the server and use some connections to receive notifications |
440 | while using other connections to issue commands to the |
441 | back-end. This is entirely legal and up to the |
442 | implementation. This does not change the protocol in any way |
443 | and no special restrictions exist on the server to allow or |
444 | disallow this or to track what connections belong to what |
445 | front-ends. Server will listen on a single port, accept |
446 | multiple connections and support protocol described in this |
447 | specification in it's entirety on this single port on each |
448 | connection that it accepted.</t> |
449 | |
450 | <t>Due to the fact that TCP is used for this communication, |
451 | dead peers will be detected automatically by the OS TCP |
452 | stack. While it may take a while to detect dead peers if no |
453 | traffic is being sent from server to client (TCP keep-alive |
454 | timer is set to 2 hours on many OSes) it will not be an |
455 | issue here as when notifications are sent by the server, |
456 | dead client will be detected quickly.</t> |
457 | |
458 | <t>When connection is closed for any reason server MUST |
459 | forget all subscriptions that were made on this connection. |
460 | If client reconnects it MUST resubscribe to all events that |
461 | it wants to receive.</t> |

466 | <section title="Description for control commands" anchor="control_commands"> |
467 | <t>This chapter will describe the available control commands |
468 | that can be sent on the TCP connection in detail. Some certain |
469 | commands (e.g. <xref target="GET CHANNEL INFO">"GET CHANNEL INFO"</xref> |
470 | or <xref target="GET ENGINE INFO">"GET ENGINE INFO"</xref>) lead to |
471 | multiple-line responses. In this case LinuxSampler signals the |
472 | end of the response by a "." (single dot) line.</t> |
473 | |
474 | <section title="Ignored lines and comments"> |
475 | <t>White lines, that is lines which only contain space and |
476 | tabulator characters, and lines that start with a "#" |
477 | character are ignored, thus it's possible for example to |
478 | group commands and to place comments in a LSCP script |
479 | file.</t> |
480 | </section> |
481 | |
482 | <section title="Configuring audio drivers"> |
483 | <t>Instances of drivers in LinuxSampler are called devices. |
484 | You can use multiple audio devices simultaneously, e.g. to |
485 | output the sound of one sampler channel using the ALSA audio |
486 | output driver, and on another sampler channel you might want |
487 | to use the JACK audio output driver. For particular audio |
488 | output systems it's also possible to create several devices |
489 | of the same audio output driver, e.g. two separate ALSA |
490 | audio output devices for using two different sound cards at |
491 | the same time. This chapter describes all commands to |
492 | configure LinuxSampler's audio output devices and their |
493 | parameters.</t> |
494 | |
495 | <t>Instead of defining commands and parameters for each |
496 | driver individually, all possible parameters, their meanings |
497 | and possible values have to be obtained at runtime. This |
498 | makes the protocol a bit abstract, but has the advantage, |
499 | that front-ends can be written independently of what drivers |
500 | are currently implemented and what parameters these drivers |
501 | are actually offering. This means front-ends can even handle |
502 | drivers which are implemented somewhere in future without |
503 | modifying the front-end at all.</t> |
504 | |
505 | <t>Note: examples in this chapter showing particular |
506 | parameters of drivers are not meant as specification of the |
507 | drivers' parameters. Driver implementations in LinuxSampler |
508 | might have complete different parameter names and meanings |
509 | than shown in these examples or might change in future, so |
510 | these examples are only meant for showing how to retrieve |
511 | what parameters drivers are offering, how to retrieve their |
512 | possible values, etc.</t> |

1354 | <section title="Configuring MIDI input drivers"> |
1355 | <t>Instances of drivers in LinuxSampler are called devices. You can use |
1356 | multiple MIDI devices simultaneously, e.g. to use MIDI over ethernet as |
1357 | MIDI input on one sampler channel and ALSA as MIDI input on another sampler |
1358 | channel. For particular MIDI input systems it's also possible to create |
1359 | several devices of the same MIDI input type. This chapter describes all |
1360 | commands to configure LinuxSampler's MIDI input devices and their parameters.</t> |
1361 | |
1362 | <t>Instead of defining commands and parameters for each driver individually, |
1363 | all possible parameters, their meanings and possible values have to be obtained |
1364 | at runtime. This makes the protocol a bit abstract, but has the advantage, that |
1365 | front-ends can be written independently of what drivers are currently implemented |
1366 | and what parameters these drivers are actually offering. This means front-ends can |
1367 | even handle drivers which are implemented somewhere in future without modifying |
1368 | the front-end at all.</t> |
1369 | |
1370 | <t>Commands for configuring MIDI input devices are pretty much the same as the |
1371 | commands for configuring audio output drivers, already described in the last |
1372 | chapter.</t> |
1373 | |
1374 | <t>Note: examples in this chapter showing particular parameters of drivers are |
1375 | not meant as specification of the drivers' parameters. Driver implementations in |
1376 | LinuxSampler might have complete different parameter names and meanings than shown |
1377 | in these examples or might change in future, so these examples are only meant for |
1378 | showing how to retrieve what parameters drivers are offering, how to retrieve their |
1379 | possible values, etc.</t> |

1515 | which is only shown dependent to given driver parameter. At |
1516 | the moment the following information categories are defined:</t> |
1517 | |
1518 | <t> |
1519 | <list> |
1520 | <t>TYPE - |
1521 | <list> |
1522 | <t>either "BOOL" for boolean value(s) or "INT" for integer |
1523 | value(s) or "FLOAT" for dotted number(s) or "STRING" for |
1524 | character string(s) |
1525 | (always returned, no matter which driver parameter)</t> |
1526 | </list> |
1527 | </t> |

1533 | </list> |
1534 | </t> |
1535 | |
1536 | <t>MANDATORY - |
1537 | <list> |
1538 | <t>either true or false, defines if this parameter must be |
1539 | given when the device is to be created with the |
1540 | <xref target="CREATE MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE"> |
1541 | 'CREATE MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE'</xref> command |
1542 | (always returned, no matter which driver parameter)</t> |
1543 | </list> |
1544 | </t> |
1545 | |
1546 | <t>FIX - |
1547 | <list> |
1548 | <t>either true or false, if false then this parameter can |
1549 | be changed at any time, once the device is created by |
1550 | the <xref target="CREATE MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE"> |

1554 | </t> |
1555 | |
1556 | <t>MULTIPLICITY - |
1557 | <list> |
1558 | <t>either true or false, defines if this parameter allows |
1559 | only one value or a list of values, where true means |
1560 | multiple values and false only a single value allowed |
1561 | (always returned, no matter which driver parameter)</t> |
1562 | </list> |
1563 | </t> |
1564 | |
1565 | <t>DEPENDS - |
1566 | <list> |
1567 | <t>comma separated list of parameters this parameter depends |
1568 | on, means the values for fields 'DEFAULT', 'RANGE_MIN', |
1569 | 'RANGE_MAX' and 'POSSIBILITIES' might depend on these |
1570 | listed parameters, for example assuming that an audio |
1571 | driver (like the ALSA driver) offers parameters 'card' |
1572 | and 'samplerate' then parameter 'samplerate' would |
1573 | depend on 'card' because the possible values for |
1574 | 'samplerate' depends on the sound card which can be |
1575 | chosen by the 'card' parameter |
1576 | (optionally returned, dependent to driver parameter)</t> |
1577 | </list> |
1578 | </t> |
1579 | |
1580 | <t>DEFAULT - |
1581 | <list> |
1582 | <t>reflects the default value for this parameter which is |
1583 | used when the device is created and not explicitly |
1584 | given with the <xref target="CREATE MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE"> |
1585 | 'CREATE MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE'</xref> command, |
1586 | in case of MULTIPLCITY=true, this is a comma separated |
1587 | list, that's why character strings are encapsulated into |
1588 | apostrophes (') |
1589 | (optionally returned, dependent to driver parameter)</t> |
1590 | </list> |
1591 | </t> |
1592 | |
1593 | <t>RANGE_MIN - |
1594 | <list> |
1595 | <t>defines lower limit of the allowed value range for this |
1596 | parameter, can be an integer value as well as a dotted |
1597 | number, this parameter is often used in conjunction |
1598 | with RANGE_MAX, but may also appear without |
1599 | (optionally returned, dependent to driver parameter)</t> |
1600 | </list> |
1601 | </t> |
1602 | |
1603 | <t>RANGE_MAX - |
1604 | <list> |
1605 | <t>defines upper limit of the allowed value range for this |
1606 | parameter, can be an integer value as well as a dotted |
1607 | number, this parameter is often used in conjunction with |
1608 | RANGE_MIN, but may also appear without |

2104 | </list> |
2105 | </t> |
2106 | |
2107 | <t>Where <filename> is the name of the instrument file on the |
2108 | LinuxSampler instance's host system, <instr-index> the index of the |
2109 | instrument in the instrument file and <sampler-channel> is the |
2110 | number of the sampler channel the instrument should be assigned to. |
2111 | Each sampler channel can only have one instrument.</t> |
2112 | |
2113 | <t>The difference between regular and NON_MODAL versions of the command |
2114 | is that the regular command returns OK only after the instrument has been |
2115 | fully loaded and the channel is ready to be used while NON_MODAL version |
2116 | returns immediately and a background process is launched to load the instrument |
2117 | on the channel. The <xref target="GET CHANNEL INFO">GET CHANNEL INFO</xref> |
2118 | command can be used to obtain loading |
2119 | progress from INSTRUMENT_STATUS field. LOAD command will perform sanity checks |
2120 | such as making sure that the file could be read and it is of a proper format |
2121 | and SHOULD return ERR and SHOULD not launch the background process should any |
2122 | errors be detected at that point.</t> |

3439 | <section title="MIDI Instrument Mapping"> |
3440 | <t>The MIDI protocol provides a way to switch between instruments |
3441 | by sending so called MIDI bank select and MIDI program change |
3442 | messages which are essentially just numbers. The following commands |
3443 | allow to actually map arbitrary MIDI bank select / program change |
3444 | numbers with real instruments.</t> |
3445 | <t>By default, that is when the sampler is launched, this map will |
3446 | be empty, thus the sampler will simply ignore all program change |
3447 | messages. The front-end has to explicitly add entries to the map |
3448 | so the sampler knows how to react on a given program change |
3449 | message, that is by switching to the respectively defined engine |
3450 | type and loading the respective instrument.</t> |
3451 | <t>Also note per MIDI specification a bank select message does not |
3452 | cause to switch to another instrument. Instead when receiving a |
3453 | bank select message the bank value will be stored and a subsequent |
3454 | program change message (which may occur at any time) will finally |
3455 | cause the sampler to switch to the respective instrument as |

3458 | <section title="Create or replace a MIDI instrument map entry" anchor="MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT"> |
3459 | <t>The front-end can create a new or replace an existing entry |
3460 | in the sampler's MIDI instrument map by sending the following |
3461 | command:</t> |
3462 | <t> |
3463 | <list> |
3464 | <t>MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT <midi_bank_msb> |
3465 | <midi_bank_lsb> <midi_prog> <engine_name> |
3466 | <filename> <instrument_index> <volume_value> |
3467 | [<instr_load_mode>] [<name>]</t> |
3468 | </list> |
3469 | </t> |
3470 | <t>Where <midi_bank_msb> is an integer value between |
3471 | 0..127 reflecting the MIDI bank select MSB (coarse) index, |
3472 | <midi_bank_lsb> an integer value between 0..127 reflecting |
3473 | the MIDI bank select LSB (fine) index, <midi_prog> an |
3474 | integer value between 0..127 reflecting the MIDI program change |
3475 | index, <engine_name> a sampler engine name as returned by |
3476 | the <xref target="LIST AVAILABLE_ENGINES">"LIST AVAILABLE_ENGINES"</xref> |
3477 | command (not encapsulated into apostrophes), <filename> the name |
3478 | of the instrument's file to be deployed (encapsulated into apostrophes), <instrument_index> the index (integer value) of the instrument |
3479 | within the given file, <volume_value> reflects the master |
3480 | volume of the instrument as optionally dotted number (where a |
3481 | value < 1.0 means attenuation and a value > 1.0 means |
3482 | amplification). This parameter easily allows to adjust the |
3483 | volume of all intruments within a custom instrument map |
3484 | without having to adjust their instrument files. The |
3485 | OPTIONAL <instr_load_mode> argument defines the life |
3486 | time of the instrument, that is when the instrument should |
3487 | be loaded, when freed and has exactly the following |
3488 | possibilities:</t> |
3489 | <t> |
3490 | <list> |
3491 | <t>"ON_DEMAND" - |
3492 | <list> |
3493 | <t>The instrument will be loaded when needed, |
3494 | that is when demanded by at least one sampler |
3495 | channel. It will immediately be freed from memory |
3496 | when not needed by any sampler channel anymore.</t> |
3497 | </list> |
3498 | </t> |
3499 | <t>"ON_DEMAND_HOLD" - |
3500 | <list> |
3501 | <t>The instrument will be loaded when needed, |
3502 | that is when demanded by at least one sampler |
3503 | channel. It will be kept in memory even when |
3504 | not needed by any sampler channel anymore. |
3505 | Instruments with this mode are only freed |
3506 | when the sampler is reset or all mapping |
3507 | entries with this mode (and respective |
3508 | instrument) are explicitly changed to |
3509 | "ON_DEMAND" and no sampler channel is using |
3510 | the instrument anymore.</t> |
3511 | </list> |
3512 | </t> |
3513 | <t>"PERSISTENT" - |
3514 | <list> |
3515 | <t>The instrument will immediately be loaded |
3516 | into memory in the background when this mapping |
3517 | command is sent and the instrument is kept all |
3518 | the time. Instruments with this mode are |
3519 | only freed when the sampler is reset or all |
3520 | mapping entries with this mode (and |
3521 | respective instrument) are explicitly |
3522 | changed to "ON_DEMAND" and no sampler |
3523 | channel is using the instrument anymore.</t> |
3524 | </list> |
3525 | </t> |
3526 | <t>not supplied - |
3527 | <list> |
3528 | <t>In case there is no <instr_load_mode> |
3529 | argument given, it will be up to the |
3530 | InstrumentManager to decide which mode to use. |
3531 | Usually it will use "ON_DEMAND" if an entry |
3532 | for the given instrument does not exist in |
3533 | the InstrumentManager's list yet, otherwise |
3534 | if an entry already exists, it will simply |
3535 | stick with the mode currently reflected by |
3536 | the already existing entry, that is it will |
3537 | not change the mode.</t> |
3538 | </list> |
3539 | </t> |
3540 | </list> |
3541 | </t> |
3542 | <t> |
3543 | The <instr_load_mode> argument thus allows to define an |
3544 | appropriate strategy (low memory consumption vs. fast |
3545 | instrument switching) for each instrument individually. Note, the |
3546 | following restrictions apply to this argument: "ON_DEMAND_HOLD" and |
3547 | "PERSISTENT" have to be supported by the respective sampler engine |
3548 | (which is technically the case when the engine provides an |
3549 | InstrumentManager for its format). If this is not the case the |
3550 | argument will automatically fall back to the default value |
3551 | "ON_DEMAND". Also the load mode of one instrument may |
3552 | automatically change the laod mode of other instrument(s), i.e. |
3553 | because the instruments are part of the same file and the |
3554 | engine does not allow a way to manage load modes for them |
3555 | individually. Due to this, in case the frontend shows the |
3556 | load modes of entries, the frontend should retrieve the actual |
3557 | mode by i.e. sending |
3558 | <xref target="GET MIDI_INSTRUMENT INFO">"GET MIDI_INSTRUMENT INFO"</xref> |
3559 | command(s). Finally the OPTIONAL <name> argument allows to |
3560 | set a custom name (encapsulated into apostrophes) for the mapping |
3561 | entry, useful for frontends for displaying an appropriate name for |
3562 | mapped instruments (using |
3563 | <xref target="GET MIDI_INSTRUMENT INFO">"GET MIDI_INSTRUMENT INFO"</xref>). |
3564 | </t> |
3565 | <t> |
3566 | The "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT" command |
3567 | will immediately return, thus it will not block when an |
3568 | instrument is to be loaded due to a "PERSISTENT" type |
3569 | entry as instruments are loaded in the background. As a |
3570 | consequence this command may not necessarily return an error |
3571 | i.e. when the given instrument file does not exist or may |
3572 | turn out to be corrupt. |
